Wonderful Trailer For Shia LaBeouf's THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON, Which is a Modern Day Mark Twain Story
The first trailer has been released for Shia LaBeouf’s upcoming film The Peanut Butter Falcon, which is described as a modern Mark Twain style adventure story. This looks like it’s going to be a great film that tells a wonderful and heartfelt story.
The film tells the story of a character named Zak (Zack Gottsagen), “a young man with Down syndrome, who runs away from a residential nursing home to follow his dream of attending the professional wrestling school of his idol, The Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Church). A strange turn of events pairs him on the road with Tyler (LaBeouf), a small-time outlaw on the run, who becomes Zak’s unlikely coach and ally. Together they wind through deltas, elude capture, drink whiskey, find God, catch fish, and convince Eleanor (Dakota Johnson), a kind nursing home employee charged with Zak’s return, to join them on their journey.”
The movie was written and directed by Tyler Nilsen (The Moped Diaries) and Michael Schwartz (The Moped Diaries) and it also stars Bruce Dern and John Hawkes.
Roadside Attractions will release The Peanut Butter Falcon in theaters on August 9th.
